- NJ LegislatureJul 22, 2026Electric Vehicle Parking Space Rounding Rules
This law sets rules for how electric vehicle parking spaces are calculated in New Jersey buildings. When calculating the required number of EV spaces, fractions are rounded up to the nearest whole number, but the total rounding cannot reduce the overall parking supply by more than 10 percent. This helps ensure buildings install enough EV charging infrastructure while protecting total parking availability.
